I recently watched the documentary, Amy – The Girl Behind The Name, which tells the musical trajectory of the British singer Amy Winehouse. It was impossible not to be moved by her story. The documentary depicts the life and death of Amy, with joyful moments and also intimate moments of great fragility. Seeing her so vulnerable reminded us that behind all that incomparable talent there was a person with faults and qualities as well as any human.

Besides her compositions and iconic voice, she had a unique style that I loved, and I will love forever. With a dramatic hairdo and a very exaggerated eyeliner, Amy created her own style, strong and genuinely unpretentious, that only she was able to pull off.

Despite being extremely inspired after watching the documentary, I did not dare to copy her full look, but I gave myself the chance to try to make an Amy inspired eye makeup, without perfection or symmetry, in a delicate version.

I liked the result, but with no doubt, the Amy’s authentic eyeline is much cooler.
